Sorry everyone, I was sick as a dog yesterday, and didn't really pay attention to what happened. Could someone sum up the arguments against the accused for their Lt.?

That would actually be a reason for me to have this key, or more like any key and this one's relatively unimportant, as it's both my job and especially seeing as it wasn't Seon's in the first place.
In other words, Seon should not get the key. We could vote it to Renata or Methos and they'd likely give it to someone anyway, probably a repairman, if that's what everyone wants and they're ok with not knowing where it goes after today's vote that's ok by me. But as for Seon we don't know what he does nor why he would need it, and how it would help the crew to do so. As far as I can tell Sick Bay is fine as it is, we ought to just leave it be, the only thing that could theoretically be improved is if someone could heal injured people and Seon hasn't said he does that.
So then so long that no one's doing wrong, like experimenting on or attacking injured crew, I think Autolycus might be a safe choice to have it. I'd hope he could be expected to just hold onto it and not be using it for anything and we'd all know it wasn't causing any trouble. Unless the time came for needing repairs to Sick Bay, and then we'd just have the key in the hands of an actual repairman already, rather than having to fetch it from Seon or who knows.
I'd also like to hear from sprig if he could elaborate on what he said earlier. Something you were doing with explosives/know about saboteurs blowing holes in the ship or what?

End Morning Phase Five, Start Midday Phase Five
Journal Entry Number Fourteen. 13:00 shipboard time. Eight Days to Port.
It was another slow day thus far, despite the number of items up for vote. The one thing constant from prior days was the pressure on Nictel. After another night of only one three-bullet kill, suspicion was once again placed on him since he was allegedly fixing the Deck last night. The separate kill of askthepizzaguy didnt help his case, considering the pirate was campaigning very hard for his imprisonment less than a day ago. Choxorn had two votes to his name for his injury in the Engine Room, and Darth Caesar received a vote for his apathy toward the whole situation.
The other items received very little attention. Ekolite led the charge for the Assault Rifle receiving four votes to this point. Methos again was a magnate for the Crate, while Seon had a small lead in the Key to the Sick Bay vote. The Navigation Override Card was practically ignored for the first half of the day, with Renata and Autolycus tied with one vote a piece.
There was one promotion to report. Kennigit had been promoted to Lieutenant Commander during the morning, leaving his Petty Officer 2nd Class position vacant.
With the repairs from last night going well, talk turned to securing the ships compartments from unauthorized access. Katie Earthling Xanatos presented some new protocol for pinpointing whos going where and why and other than a few scoffs from the crew, was largely ignored.
Thus concludes this entry. Heres hoping the next entry isnt as bland

Right, if we're going after Nictel it ought to be an execution of the suspected Rogue, another night in the brig wouldn't solve anything regarding whether he is a killer or not. I might not be around later myself to help stop any bandwagon on this like previous days, but no one's given a reason why we would want to reverse anyway and we could use more votes now.
I'd also point out I did find it odd that Nictel claims he was "framed" as his alternative to being a killer, implicitly acknowledging that the drop in kills was directly related to him. There are other explanations I might have expected a loyal and Innocent officer to provide, he didn't even suggest that the drop in kills could have just been unrelated to him. That could be possible in the broad sense, at any rate I think there must something more to the drop in both rogue kills and sabotage, so it's worth speculation but I'll have to be onboard this case against Nictel.
Autolycus for the Override Card, I think. We shouldn't be using it right now though as far as I can tell, just don't let it into the wrong hands.

I have been contacted by somebody claiming to have seen evidence which proves that Nictel cannot have killed anybody so far.
Meanwhile, Seon claims to have been inactive on two out of three nights, which strikes me as rather suspicious.

Ok you scum lets go:
So you say I am innocent, as you say there must be "more" to the drop in kills and sabotage but you want me gone any way? What do you know? Sounds like me you just slipped that you actually know I am innocent, perhaps because you know the TRUE reason?

Cause loosing a repair guy is no problem at all? RIGHT? CAUSE I WASN'T HELPING AT ALL.

Renata can have the navigation card, and BSmith can have the rifle. That was a good night we had, especially repair-wise.

Ah. Good to see that those of us who actually do fracking work on this ship get recognised!
I know any decent repairmen--like myself--had to go through hoops and hurdles to get the fracking access he needed just so that he could fracking do his job.....that's the bureaucracy for you: gotta do a lot of work jsut so you can begin your job.
But now I can be one of those who can get access for repairs for some repairmen. Please contact me.
And for the time being, Seon, what exactly have you been up to? You had your drugs the first day and now no word of that has been buzzing around. Commander Winston says you claim to be inactive at nights--something rather worrying considering most everyone has abilities, or at least can do searches.

So after reviewing recent activities, it occurs to me that if we were to be going after Nictel, it would make far more sense to execute than to stick in the Brig. The Brig tells us nothing more than repairing, but we don't get the benefit of repairs. But apparently we don't want to go after Nictel anymore. 
I'm a little wary of giving the assault rifle back to Ekolite. Presumably he wants it for a PG, but I think we've learnt from the party that we shouldn't let PGs get in the way of our survival. Is Ekolite actually the best person to have an extra vote? I see no reason to think this Seaman is.
I see no issue giving the crate to Methos, however.

No, you could well be a rogue and I didn't say you were Innocent, I've not seen any good evidence to that. It's just that there seem at least 2 or 3 saboteurs and rogues unaccounted for, so besides you it's still worth speculating why there wasn't more sabotage and kills. And you almost certainly can't be *both* a saboteur and a rogue so even if you are one of the two, there would still have to be something any missing other traitor was up to.
Also, sprig, I agree at least a third of this crew has been way too inactive. But you missed responding to some things earlier yourself, care to elaborate again?
That said, it seems sentiment has shifted away from Nictel and if we're not going all the way I don't want to wind up brigging him to really waste time, so I ought to make my vote useful while I can. I don't think Seon has done much useful and don't think he should get the Sick Bay key, and spending a night in the brig could be a good start there. I still wish those who are more in the know or some of our higher officers who supposedly have a lot of information from the whole crew had some better leads today, but maybe tomorrow we will.

We should only keep Nictel around longer if we have a foolproof way of making sure that he repairs each night. Otherwise, I'd say he's the best candidate currently. Renata can have the crate.
I don't think we easily do and especially not without further coordination. The one thing we could do is make sure Nictel is the only person repairing a particular, probably relatively unimportant area, so we'll know if repairs were done there or not. Like a few points/however much repairs he does on the hangar while all other repairmen are known to be somewhere else.
Someone who could stop a crewman from working entirely (roleblock) would only block Nictel from repairs anyway. And someone who can follow somebody, for instance, is far more valuable looking for other saboteurs or killers amongst solid unknowns than watching Nictel, who even if guilty would probably keep doing repairs and is already under known suspicion.

There is very strong evidence of Nictel's innocence circulating, from at least two independent sources. Others have posted this as well. We're being careful to shield the sources of the info since we don't want valuable members of the crew to become the next target. I'm beginning to think that some of the folks who continue to cast suspicion in that direction may have an agenda that conflicts with the ship's mission and interests of its loyal crew.
This is not to say that enthusiasm for detecting the guilty is a bad thing. Efforts in that direction are much appreciated. But we need to use the tools at our disposal more effectively.
Speaking of using tools, I don't know if anyone noticed there was some damage to Intelligence. Given the recent incident, it would be a good idea to get some repairs done there so that we don't miss any more important communications due to further damage.
